Hillsboro: Fire district is best solution
The amount city residents pay annually for EMS and fire protection services versus what townships pay per resident was a main point of contention during a public meeting held by the city of Hillsboro Wednesday. While the city initially alleged Hillsboro residents pay "$130 to $150," while townships currently pay $22 per resident, firefighters and township trustees said that figure was "false."
 
    More than 100 Hillsboro residents, firefighters and township residents and representatives turned out to Southern State Community College Wednesday for a public briefing by Hillsboro Mayor Drew Hastings regarding the ongoing negotiations with area townships for EMS and fire protection.

Breaking down city finances
Your questions about city finances are always welcome and even though I encourage anyone to call, more people don’t than do. So, there are a lot of unanswered questions that are left for speculation. Granted, this article will probably stimulate more questions.

In the words of the Old Hog Farmer, it's addition by subtraction for SSCC
May 9, 2012 was the 23rd anniversary of my dad's death. May 9, 2012 was also the end of my six-year term as a member of the Southern State Community College Board of Trustees. If that's not enough ironic coincidence, consider this: My first meeting as an SSCC trustee was in November. My dad was born in November. I shared this with SSCC President Dr. Kevin Boys prior to the May 9 board meeting.
